Change your white balance during a sunrise or sunset. Take your camera off auto white balance and switch to Cloudy or Shady white balance. This will add more strength to the reds, oranges and yellows. Auto White Balance tries to keep colors neutral.

Looking for inspiration for your photography? Look no further than Learn & Explore, the area on the Nikonusa website that is packed full of educational articles, how-to tutorials and inspirational pieces on all sorts of photography topics.

Carry your camera manual, especially if your camera is new. When traveling you'll probably have a chance to try some new shots. It can also be the time you’re likely to forget the function of a particular button. Or you may just want to explore all the cool things today’s cameras offer.

Experiment with the white balance settings outside. White balance on your camera will alter the color temperature and appearance you get in your picture. For instance, a CLOUDY setting will give your pictures a warmer cast. The FLUORESCENT setting will make your photographs cooler, skewing to a purple cast.

When traveling abroad, check the power setting and type of plugs. Most modern chargers do both 110 volts (USA) and 220 volts (most of the rest of the world). Check yours, and then pick the right adapter for the plug. Be careful to not use a 110-volt power strip in higher-voltage countries.

Turn on the lights when shooting inside the house. Lamps and overhead lights will brighten any picture indoors. The light will add depth to the picture and often warm up the color. Most importantly, it will brighten up the background.

Be creative with your posing. Don't just line everybody up. Use the steps or the arm of a couch to experiment with some people standing and others sitting. Have kids sitting in laps or someone sitting on the floor or kneeling. Mix it up.

Get yourself in the picture. Nothing is worse than a vacation with no shots of the family photographer. Get in the picture by using a tripod (or a steady surface such as a wall or a car hood) and the camera’s self-timer to make sure you're included in the family memories.

Jump for fun. Have your kids line up for a picture. As the photographer, get low, and get ready to shoot. Have the kids all jump in the air at the same time. Capturing them mid jump can bring out their true personalities.

When photographing a lot of people at a party, use your camera’s Smart Portrait System to help you get better pictures. The blink mode lets you know if your subjects blinked, and the smile timer can snap the photo when the camera sees that your subjects are smiling.

Try turning off your flash at night to get what your eye really sees. If it's at all dark or dim, the camera will try to fire the flash. Find the flash off icon (usually a lightning bolt with a line through it) and select it. Make sure to hold steady, or use a tripod, because the shutter speed may be slow.

Use the pet scene mode when photographing cats and dogs. If your camera doesn’t have a pet mode, disable the audible beeps and focus assist lamps while photographing them so the lights and sounds aren’t a distraction.

Go shooting with a friend. Not only will you add another pair of eyes to find interesting subjects, but you’ll also feed off of each other’s ideas and energy. Try to organize regular shoots in the park. Share lenses or tips on making that unforgettable photo.

Use fill flash to add a little sparkle to your subject’s eyes when shooting portraits outdoors, during the day. Even in bright sunlight, fill flash can even out the lighting for a more pleasing photograph.

Compose photos using the “rule of thirds.” Think of the frame as being broken into nine rectangles (like a tic-tac-toe grid over the picture). Place your subject at one of the intersections of the lines for a more visually stimulating photo.

When shooting an image that has a subject looking off to one side, compose your photograph so there is more space where the subject is looking. This will give your photograph more of a natural feeling.

When shooting landscapes at dusk or nighttime, use a tripod and cable release or self-timer so you can slow down the shutter speed to let in more light. This is the technique used when you see pictures of car lights as lines, not pinpoints.

One of the rules of composition says that horizon lines should not be placed in the center of an image, but closer to the top or bottom of the frame. Sometimes rules are meant to be broken. When you’re photographing a subject and its reflection, its perfectly fine to place the horizon in the center of the frame.

Love this lens....
I have used this lens for nearly one year now and this lens is amazing if you love super-wide angle photography and know how to use them. The only improvement I can see would be a way to add filters to the front element. Otherwise there is no apparent barrel distortion or pincushion. What a beautiful lens.... I'm going to have to sell my old 15mm 3.5 AiS lens.

A lens for all of us
This is a fairly expensive lens, and it is as good as everyone says. However, it is not as large and as heavy as you might have been led to believe. The lens is so comfortable on a D700 you might wonder what all those people were talking about. Most important, it is just FUN. You can do portraits, landscapes and all manor of craziness. At 24mm it will just knock your socks off, it is so good. If you want landscapes, I believe this is the best way to get them. And we can all have one of these. Just save your pennies and forgo maybe a few of those other toys. This one is worth the sacrifice.
Now this thing does gather every source of light out there, and you will pick up those sun spots, but you can see them in the viewfinder. Heck, you might even like them, but if you don't and you cannot avoid them, clean it up in NX2. If you can only have one lens, let it be this one. I have added my first snapshot fooling around with this wonderful lens the day I got it. I hope to become more adept with it in order to double my fun, but I could stay stupid and enjoy this lens.
October 24, 2010

One of my best lens!
I love shooting at night. It is very sharp and fast autofocus. Nice wide angle. A little heavy but It is a superb quality lens. Perfect for my D700. Also, this is one of my good investment lens along with my 24-70.
October 22, 2010

Best fast ultra wide zoom I know.
This lens has got to be the most amazing ultra wide zoom or prime equivalents I have ever used and the best zoom among my 24-70 and 70-200 VR1. Excellent sharpness through out the range and aperture. It even beats the equivalent primes I have, all of which I pixel peeped to compare. Only minor issue for me is the no filter mounting capability unless you create your own using the largest Cokin filters and mounting system plus home made fixture to clamp unto the built-in lens hood which is cumbersome on the go. Flaring and distortion are above average for me though. I use a D700.
September 27, 2010

Great Optics, Bad Aperature Control!
I have to agree with other reviewers that the optics are tack sharp, but I experienced an issue with 2 of these lenses. Upon receiving the lenses, I ran test exposures in Manual mode at all apertures while adjusting the shutter speed to compensate. The resulting overall "brightness" of the image was nearly 2 stops darker at small apertures than the image at wide open. This was the case on both lenses (none of my other lenses show this problem, BTW), so both were returned. Images were shot in RAW and processing was identical. This seems to me like something Nikon should get right. I'd dearly love to have one of these lenses, but for the high price I want it ALL to work as it should. This was shortly after the lens became available, so perhaps it has been resolved by now?
September 22, 2010

Good lens with drawbacks
My example of this lens provides very good center sharpness but losing sharpness noticably in the corners across a wide range of stops. It is not appreciably sharper than other lenses I've used that cover a similar angle e.g. Sigma 10-20mm on a DX-sensor camera (this lens is being used with a D700), and is noticably less sharp than my older Nikon 28-70/2.8 which is really excellent for sharpness. That said, sharpness is adequate for my purposes though not stellar. With the 14-24, shots are good but definitely the sharpness does not make you stand up and go 'wow'.
Overall construction quality and feel seems to be excellent.
The lens has significant drawbacks that should be considered:
- the large protruding front element precludes the use of screw-on filters for protection
- the lens is extremely prone to flare as you would expect of a zoom lens with so many elements - the very wide angle exacerbates the problem since it's so easy to inadvertently or unavoidably include bright light sources in the frame. With the sun in the shot, flare becomes a dominant feature in the shot at typical apertures.
- the lens is fairly heavy
On the whole, I'm somewhat disappointed with the lens particularly when cost is factored in (my rating does not reflect value for price) though it's "good enough" to hang on to and use because there is no alternative.
September 22, 2010

Superb lens
THis is one of my favorite lenses to use and have with me along during my travels. The construction and design meld right into your hands. Imaging is crisp and clear and at 2.8, a very versatile lens. A must have for any serious photographer!
August 19, 2010

Stunning
This lens is super sharp and gives such a stunning perspective with the 14mm. It's big, but not that heavy and is a perfect lens to showcase the environment you're shooting. A favorite toy in my camera bag!
August 14, 2010

Ultra sharp
I have owned this lens for over a year now, and I'm
still astonished at how sharp it is! I have 11 Nikkor
lenses and this the sharpest of them all.
August 7, 2010

Very Sharp
One of the sharpest lenses I've used.
I am a wide angle junkie and this lens is so much fun.
A little bit on the heavy side, but the results are fantastic.
August 3, 2010

Exceeds expectations.
I have wanted an extreme wide angle lens for a long time, but was worried it would create distortion. This lens has very little distortion and the sharpness is amazing. I have photographed several assignments now with this lens and I am very impressed. This lens will get just as much use as any other lens in my bag.
August 2, 2010

This lens is exceptional. The focal length is perfect for me. It is very sharp and has excellent color rendition. This is a large lens for serious photographers. The build quality is first class. You get what you pay for.
August 1, 2010

Phenomenal lens
A bit pricy but worth every penny. Great clarity and color. One of three must have lenses (along with 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8)
August 1, 2010

good lens but better when using full frame
Wonderful fast and sharp lens that I use with my Nikon D300. Tried using on my daughters Nikon D700 and was much more excited to use on full frame to really get the benefit of the wide angle.
August 1, 2010

Sharp, Excellent
The majority of my photography doesn't require this lens; however, the couple of times I needed it, I was impressed with the sharpness and the color rendition. Very satisfactory results ! .
July 31, 2010

Best lens in the bag.
Amazing...two weeks with this lens and I'm finding tons of new things to shoot never possible before...landscapes, wildlife and outdoor portraits...WOW...the most creative lens in my bag.
July 31, 2010

Worldclass wide zoom
I absolutely love this lens. In the right hands - you have to "think" wide - this lens never disappoints. In my opinion, you don't get the full effect on DX cameras - there are better choices there. On FX, the 14mm perspective is awesome.
I had the chance to compare images from this lens to the legendary Zeiss 18mm, and to my eye, the Nikon is about equal. Add the fact that the 14-24 is a zoom (the Zeiss is fixed) and that the Nikon is half a stop faster - well, you get an idea of just how good this lens is...easily the best ultra-wide Nikon has ever made.
Only very minor gripes are the sheer bulk of the lens, plus the fact that it can't take filters.
Definitely recommended, if you're an ultra-wide kinda person.
July 31, 2010

Wow! Best Landscapes Lens...
Don't know what to say about this Lens except that "bravo" Nikon. This lens is truly a marvel, initially I was really hesitant to spend almost $2k on it but a recent trip to Alaska had me itching day and night so you know the rest... No regrets, the images I was able to capture with this lens were stunning and sharp.
July 31, 2010

Excellent lens
This is an amzingly sharp lens from edge to edge, has all of the pro features you want, excellent build quality and very fast.
July 31, 2010

Sharp Over Complete Aperture and Zoom Range
I have used this lens for landscapes coupled with my Nikon D300 camera body for outstanding results. I recently got back from Ouray area of Colorado and could not believe the number of pictures that were blow-up and mountable quality. Absolutely, the best ultra wide zoom lens that I have ever used.
July 31, 2010

Terrific lens!
This is the perfect wide-angle zoom! I do a lot of close proximity pictures from cars, motorcycles, machineries and architecture. This lens deliver fantastic point of view of the subjet with minimal distorsion. I use it a lot and it always surprise me!
July 31, 2010

the wide angle
This is one of the three main lenses that go on my d 300 and d 700 bodies. This is an exceptional fine lens and I love how it opens the possibilty of filling the frame for me. I sometimes will keep it on the camera for weeks at a time just to increase the experiences allowed withsuch fine glass. i highly recommend this baby and would not leave without it. I love shooting outdoors and recently documented the tearing down of giants stadium and did it all with this lens. i am leaving for my third africian safari in September and this is up there with the malaria plls as must packs. The morning savanah scenes and evening scenes are ideal for this lens.
July 31, 2010

Amazing wide angle zoom but not for everyone.
The best wide angle lens I have used. Very sharp and does an amazing job controlling distortion. If you're an architectural, interior or scenic photographer there is not a better zoom available. This is a specialized lens and the average photographer might find themselves using this lens less than expected. Cons would be the price, the hood traps dust on the lens and the shape of the lens makes it difficult to use filters.
July 31, 2010

The whole Enchilada
This is the wider range of zoom you start with. Amazing clarity with speed. Landscape or interior low light this is the one you'll ever need no mater what body you step up to. If your not careful you shoot your feet its so wide.
July 30, 2010

so wide, so clean, so sharp...un edited
full frame gave me the ISO i had been needing at weddings...the 14-24 is insanely crisp and true. I get images right out of the camera that are ready to print and without distortion.
the optics would be absolutely unheard of even a few years ago.
I can stand in the corner of a room and see all four walls.....all four walls!
July 30, 2010

Favorite Lens Ever - Ultra Wide, Sharp & Fun
I've taken so many, and such a wide range, of my favorite shots -the ones that stop buyers and friends in their tracks - with the ultra-wide zoom AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lens on my Nikon D700. If I could keep only one lens for that full-frame, I'd pick it, and let my Nikon D200 cover the rest.
Once you get used to positioning lens to optimize effective, dramatic capture of subject-scene with this incredibly edge-to-edge sharp, ultra-wide lens, your creativity will be unleashed more than ever.
These are some wow shots Nikkor's 14-24mm helped make possible: (1) vast three-floor atrium with jet fighter suspended (2) crime scene with detective looming in foreground (3) all sharp in same shot: tall reeds feet away, hand inches away, face feet away, (small but clear) building at least mile away, (4) sweeping scenic vistas with massive moody cloudscapes, (5) close-up of pet with intense sense of depth. I could go on and on. I LOVE this lens.
July 30, 2010

Best wide angle zoom. Period.
Image quality is unmatched at any distance in the range. Sharpness is beyond reproach. There's a reason Canon users buy lens adapter mounts and buy this lens for their Canon's
July 30, 2010

Incredible Sharpness with little or no distortion.
I have used this lens for Landscapes and Architectural Interiors. This lens has little or no barrel distortion and it's sharpness has no equal. I must agree that living here in the Southwest, I wish I could put a filter in this lens!!
July 30, 2010

Great
This is truly a remarkable lens. Great image quality with imperceptable distortion across the entier zoom range. Flare is well controlled and predictbale. Great for stunning broad landscapes or creative close-up and perspective shots. Fast for beautiful, low light interior shots. AF is also fast and accurate.It is large, and it is heavy, but on a pro body it balances well.
July 30, 2010

one of best
I always was missing such a good wide zoom on my Canon gear. This lens is fantastic. Excellent optics and build quality.
IMO it has two drawbacks:
1. no standard way to use filters (due to its front element); so you must be very careful using it especially on events
2. it's huge and very heavy

If nothing else to protect the lens glass from the elements while shooting or an accident, can Nikon recommend a filter manufacturer that has or can custom make filters for this lens. I'd like to also know the thinking behind the engineering of this lens to not allow the use of filters for it. Appreciate it before I consider buying this lens with this liability or risk factor. Thanks.

I bought mine with extra insurance protection that, for a reasonable price, covers accidental damage up to and even including full replacement. That said, you do want to be careful when carrying your camera around with this lens attached.

This lens is full frame (FX) as is the D600. There is no crop unless you choose to set the camera to that mode (and why you would do that, I can't imagine). It is the DX lenses that will shoot only in crop on a full frame sensor like the D600). I think this lens is amazing and prefer it to the 17-35mm.

The Nikon USA Accessories page for the AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED does not indicate that a rear lens cap is supplied with this lens. Please explain why, or correct the page to state that a Rear Lens Cap in Supplied.

When I clean the glass on the Nikon 14-24 2.8 with lens cleaner, lens tissue, and wipe off with a micro fiber cloth I am getting swirl marks. How do I get rid of the swirl marks without over cleaning and damaging the lens?

I would like to experiment with hyperfocal. Older Nikon lenses have the hyperfocal distance marks engraved but the 14-24 has none. Is there any tutorial available or perhaps Nikon could write a program that we could use to calculate the hyperfocal distances.

I believe you mean parfocal, a lens that stays in focus when magnification/focal length is changed.1) I've never tested the 14-24mm myself.2) Nikon doesn't say anything about it.3) But several third parties over the Internet say that "yes".

Will be doing a shoot inside a big hall in a few weeks and I have been having issues either picking the right lens or with my camera's settings when shooting video indoors. Some shots are exposed fine, some are too dark and then some are over exposed and I need to find a happen medium. I chose Nikon 14-24mm below but I wanted to know what you thought was the best lens for what I need to shoot.

Any Nikon lens with a maximum aperture or F-number of f/2.8 or lower would perform well indoors or in low lighting conditions. The 14-24mm lens is an ultra wide angle lens, so you will need to get as close as you can to your subjects. The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II is a very good choice if you need to get close shots without moving closer and it's excellent for indoor shots. Prime lenses are also very good.

In addition to a microfiber cloth, is it possible to use as Lens Cleaning Solution the Eclipse E2 to clean the Nikkor 14-24 without any damages on the Nanocrystal coating or the lens itself ?

Thanks in advance for your answer,
